Layer your clothes as everywhere in UK. It was cold on the water but the crew and narrator didn't notice.

This was well worth it- we had a relaxing and beautiful cruise along the Lochs and the narration was spot on. Would recommend as a great way to see the area. Also, really nice facilities at the dock. Well done!

It was great cruise and the staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. Must do if you’re at Loch Ness. Customer service were really accommodating as I had to move my cruise to a different day
